andy on parks and rec sold his bands cds at his shoeshine stand but that certainly wasn't an "exclusive shoe shine only release" or a guy who runs a bookstore also selling some local cd of a band he's in or a woman who runs an antique shop selling copies of her book i've bought an insanely good record at a local new age shop before (by the guy who runs the shop) and found some great comics from a bartender at a bar. not everybody lives online and sometimes you find out about things removed from the source. idk if i would go the generic starbucks music route though... |

tbh i'm on the fence about purchasing a copy. depends on the packaging or any other info to be released. if i hate it, like i said, i could always sell it for a profit.
look at how much those astral plains and the other limited 7"s go for... |

It comes down to this, his tea business isn't doing well at all and, instead of hiring a professional manager and having a viable business plan to help it grow locally, he's resorting to using SP/Billy fans to keep it afloat and generate publicity (which still isn't working). Like Billy said, this is only the beginning of his plans. |

i missed the tea on tour thing and i don't follow the fb feeds because there isn't any news and i also missed the sp signings at wrestling events because i don't care about that either. so for someone who isn't stalking the band 24/7 i don't think its that big of a deal. maybe its a matter of zooming out a little. its like following both monte and crestfallen on twitter and then complaining that the posts are exactly the same. |

It's probably not going to be music that we're going to enjoy listening to anyways. Seems to me that the only appeal that it will have will be for collecting purposes... And even then, he left the door open for more pressings, which will certainly hurt the value of the "original run"
I don't see the problem with him releasing it/selling it through Zu-Zu's and it's website. It's an independent release so he may as well sell it through his little shop that he already has up and running. |

Oh come on now, you don't have to stalk the band 24/7 to see these things. I didn't know about the VIP thing until Pave mentioned it to me in a thread. The wrestling thing I read on Netphoria. Netphoria is pretty much the source of all my SP news. I just look at fb for Adore news. |

here's the thing - what other website would it be sold through???
zuzu's already has an online shop that took them ages to set up. why try and build one through nexus? |

pretty sure he's selling this stuff "through" the tea shop because he's making something specifically to balance the teashop's books maybe for tax reasons i don't know i'm not an accountant

My only complaint is him using his music fans and the SP label to sell his tea. I understand why he's doing but I think it's cheap. I get it, you're not going to understand my take on this and that's fine. |

I know, you mention it every second post.
Might I remind you that you're the one that repeatedly said in this thread that you "don't understand" and you're probably not going to. I just don't agree with the principal behind it, it's simple. |

I don't really see it as a big deal either that he sells it via zuzus. It is just the easiest for him. And yes, it could be possible he might try avoid paying taxes etc. |

my sister lives in downtown chicago and i guess H.Park is like 45 minutes out into the suburbs but I would go there every chance I got - sorry about it.
tbch i think it's just a matter of convenience. "hey you may not obsessively follow me online but i released this limited album that you can't purchase at best buy" there are plenty of artists who i don't/can't follow online and if they ran a store and i saw something like that/this on the counter/under the display i would be extremely interested in. i wouldn't berate them for cross-pollinating. if anything it would get me interested. |

seriously though if ANY artist ran a store I would be more than greatful if I could pick up some of their material while I am there. the more limited and the more exclusive the better.
if genesis p-orridge (i'm just picking names here randomly) ran a laundromat, I would certainly hope I could pick up some rare/weirdo releases while I am there. |
